How much does the server need for animals?

Postby SCUBA » Tue Feb 13, 2007 11:25 pm

If animals are in any way heavy on the server, I think that individualization of them is not worth the extra lag, or lag at all. In that case, put the old animal system back. All fun things with animal can be done anyway. The server is not up to run an animal simulation. It is up for us to play.

If that is a reason the server is slow at times, then I agree the animal system should be simplified.

It is not the reason. Animal processing has suprisingly little impact on the server.

I'm blaming those toucans... always seemed strange that Zuzi was so protective of them.

It's a crazy conspiracy! :P

lol A conspiracy alright. They're gathering their ranks in Zuzi and Kiii, just waiting to take over the world... Heehee. And they're shooting the server with their sleep rays so that people wouldn't bother to check hunt screen and notice them multiplying by hundreds.

Good to know it's not the animals, it seemed like something that might take a lot of time but apparently you've managed to implement it in a way that works.

It's the end of the world as we know it. :wink:

Let all kneel down before the mighty toucan army!

All you need are some Fruit Loops to distract them, then you can shoot 'em and make toucan soup. ;)

No shooting toucans! You get jail time for that. Or at least a spanking by Jaina.

Actually animals seem to be working on their own to decrease lag by cutting down human population.

73 damage in one day with iron shield and efficient hunter... whew!

They killed two newspawns in two days at the same place, too. The third one was lucky enough to run into the Inn before being eaten alive.
